 The life sentence given to Sanjiv Bhat and a former constable by a Jamnagar court is a very rare instance of cops getting convicted for custodial deaths in Gujarat. From 2001 to 2016, the latest year for which NCRB data is available, 180 people died in police custody without a single cop being convicted.
 Across India, there were 1,557 custodial deaths during this period, for which just 26 cops were convicted, the vast majority of them in UP. Gujarat had the third highest number of deaths in custody, behind Maharashtra (362) and Andhra Pradesh (242). There were no convictions in any of these states.
